OBJECTIVE: To examine the presence and localization of lipid-core plaque (LCP) in coronary vessels with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
METHODS: NIRS imaging was performed after guidewire crossing of the occlusion in 15 patients with CTOs. LCP was defined as ≥2 adjacent 2 mm yellow blocks on the block chemogram. We also measured the maximum lipid-core burden index (LCBI) in a 4 mm length of artery (maxLCBI4mm). Large LCP was defined as maxLCBI4mm ≥500.
RESULTS: Median patient age was 64 years (interquartile range [IQR], 61-67 years) and all patients were men with high prevalence of diabetes mellitus (64%) and prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (27%). The CTO target vessel was the right coronary artery (46%), left anterior descending artery (27%), or circumflex artery (27%). Median occlusion length was 35 mm (IQR, 30-50 mm). LCP was present in 11 of 15 CTO vessels (73%) and a large LCP in 4 of 15 CTO vessels (27%). LCP was located at the proximal cap in 6 CTOs (55%), the CTO body in 6 CTOs (55%), and the distal cap in 2 CTOs (18%). The median overall LCBI and maxLCBI4mm were 145 (IQR, 79-243) and 415 (IQR, 267-505), respectively. All patients underwent successful stenting without any complications. The 12-month incidence of in-stent restenosis and target-lesion revascularization was 25%, and all patients who developed restenosis had an LCP at baseline.
CONCLUSIONS: LCPs are commonly encountered in coronary CTO vessels, suggesting an active intraplaque atherosclerotic process. The impact of LCP on postintervention outcomes requires further study.
